A fairly new facility and a very friendly staff. We arrived a bit early and the staff took pains to get a room ready for our early arrival. The room was comfortable and quiet. The continental breakfast was adequate. Another Days Inn that did NOT fail to meet our expectations. Another very good internet connection and a convenient location. If in the area, this one will give a good bang for your buck.

We backtracked a little from Santa Fe to stop by Los Alamos, where the top secret Manhattan Project to develop the Atomic Bomb was housed. We had read a bit about the scientists who had worked on the project so were quite interested to go.

The museum was excellent, covering the Native American history, geology, history ...

So finally I headed back onto the highway and aimed for Albuquerque, but it was too far away. I decided to stop in Gallup, New Mexico, based on a web search, and get a hotel for the night. I wanted to try to catch some photos of the Super Moon since I figured I could get some cool shots of it rising against the wild NM ...

... we'll pass AND to pose with the Muffler Man (tall sculpture outside their shop.)

Back in the car we went driving a FAST 75 mph towards New Mexico! Bry and I were up front, Gracie was in the way back, and Bryan decided to take a nap in the middle. Bry and I AGAIN laughed it up from making fun of billboards, to yelling at his Dad, "Go back to sleep Dad. NO!", misunderstanding the "No Phones" ...

Next is a display on the Age of Volcanoes, the Cenozoic period. This lead into the Rise of the Recent display, which is also on the Cenozoic period. Then came a display on Caves during the Pleistocene period. The last display was about New Mexico's Ice Age, also during the Pleistocene period.
